I called Air Algerie (for positioning from Paris) and they confirmed that the Transit Without Visa is possible when transiting onto another flight within 24 hours as described by other FT'ers, and that there should be no problem boarding in ORY as long as I show my connecting ticket info...hoping for the best
That's exactly the itinerary I'll be booking, albeit for much later in the year.
